Semantics. There's no brutality in this attack, hence the name brute force shouldn't be applied. He isn't pushing the system to the limits while going through all the possible values, which is what happens in traditional brute force attacks.The ban on that type of attack is to prevent the researchers to overload the servers. This can't put any noticeable load on the server at all.

In the country where I live and get Netflix, everything is subtitled. And I can't even disable them for most content.I should probably sue them too for hiding 0.1% of the pixels on screen with stuff I don't care about!

I've actually seen lots of bread recipes that make use of "cups".Bread is actually sensitive to small differences. If you don't have a precise "cup" of flour or liquids, your bread can totally be different!

Of course, if you're serious about it, you're not going to look at those recipes as they aren't inherently good. Making bread requires some experience as the current temperature, ambiant humidity or flour can be different from room to room, let alone countries to countries. And still, people look at those and say that it isn't a good recipe as they didn't get the same result as you...

Cooking is about precision. I wouldn't use volume to mesure flour, just the same way I wouldn't use the time it takes to drop out of the flour box to mesure it."Drop flour for 3 seconds in a bowl..."

So it means they will be supporting only 64bit machines on 10.6, and there's probably few of them since they are likely to have upgraded to newer versions of OSX, unlike all the 32bit machines that are stuck on 10.6 and that should make the majority of 10.6 users. Am I right?

Isn't iMessage always associated with an email address too?Wouldn't it be easy to send an email to people when they haven't received a message after a day?There could be a link in the email telling people how to remove their phone number from the service and receive subsequent messages directly as SMS if they switched phone.

You should consider a sword and shield to defend yourself, they are less likely to fail. Or a small dagger eventually if your place is not big enough to swing a sword around.If you need to fight long distance, consider a bow and arrow. According to the Predator documentary, it even works against aliens with superior technology.

It isn't forbidden to read emails, it is forbidden for employers to require the employees to read them or be reachable through their personal or company phone.Employees must be allowed to have a 11h "blackout" between two consecutive working days and 35h during weekends.If an employee wants to read emails and do extra work, it's up to him, but it can't be imposed.

And this is an agreement just for some business types (mainly IT related), not everyone.

Now we have a new AMD card that can generate more OpenGL errors per second!

Seriously, working with AMD is hard. Their OpenGL implementation never works properly and we always need workarounds to get the job done.NVidia on the other hand has always been working better for me as a developer.
